Advances in transformation of MARTE profile time concepts in model-driven software development

Abstract

UML models can be extended with time concepts from the Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded Systems (MARTE) profile. In the Model-Driven Software Development, elements enhanced by stereotypes corresponding to time concepts can be transformed into code and assisted by appropriate library support during an application development and execution. We discuss several issues of the MARTE time concept interpretation and realization in an MDSD approach. Selected solutions were implemented in FXU, a tool for building C# applications based on UML classes and state machines. Realization of the MARTE support was verified in case studies.
